Lokalbahn Vöcklamarkt-Attersee (VA)
Attergaubahn

The Lokalbahn Vöcklamarkt-Attersee, also known as the Attergaubahn, is a metre gauge electric railway in the Austrian Salzkammergut region. It connects the town of Attersee (on lake of the same same) with Vöcklamarkt on the Westbahn main line between Vienna, Linz and Salzburg.

The railway was opened on 14th January 1913. It is 75.9% owned by the Stern & Hafferl Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH, 10.5% by the Land of Oberösterreich, as well as other investors. It is 13.4 km long and electrified with 750V DC. It connects with boat services on Attersee run by Atterseeschiffahrt, also owned by Stern & Hafferl. Stern & Hafferl also ran power stations and all their railways were electrified.

Early trains were hauled by small four-wheel tram-like vehicles hauling trailers.

Stern & Hafferl vehicles are owned by the individual companies, plus some by Stern & Hafferl themselves. The first two digits in the numbering system show ownership:-
20 - Stern & Hafferl
22 - Linzer Lokalbahn (LiLo) - standard gauge
23 - Gmunden-Vorchdorf (GV) - metre gauge
24 - Lambach Vorchdorf (LV) - standard gauge
25 - Lambach Haag (LH) - standard gauge
26 - Vöcklamarkt-Attersee (VA) - metre gauge

VA  ET 26 106

Vöcklamarkt-Attersee (VA) units ET 26 106 and ET 26 107 (previously ET 20 108) were both built by Düwag in 1936 as Rheinbahn 118 and 119. (Rheinbahn 109 and 110 were also bought and used on Gmunden-Vorchdorf). Having travelling on these fine trams in 1974 it was a real pleasure to see them still in regular service in 1989. Both cars are now preserved in Germany.
